you have to catch them in the morning.

you have to catch them in the morning.

b/c by the afternoon the august heat has them burnt and withered away.

but in the morning,

it's like your front yard has little bit of hawaii in it.

and it's the most beautiful thing my front yard does all summer long.

for the last 8 days

my second batch of lilacs from my neighbor's bush have graced my table for another 2 days.

did you know lilac bushes are really more like trees?

i didn't.

but now i do.

and i can't seem to get them to last more than 2 days on my table.

fast little flowering beauties.

sean, please plant me two of them for next year?

i just have to have some of my own!

my house has never smelled as good as it has in the last 8 days. 

i wish lilacs could bloom all year round:)
